Pat McCartin - Director of Sales at QB Products, LLC

I thought we were generally on top of trends in the eCommerce world - but the Sage Tree team opened my eyes to the fact that the channel shift to eCommerce will be even bigger than the rise of the big boxes in the 1990's and won't stop in our lifetimes. My time at the Symposium convinced me that we need to organize and plan resources differently - hugely valuable to Thermacell Repellents.

Would highly recommend Sage Tree as a key business partner to deliver category and long term growth.

Costco.com is a membership based retailer that is unlike any other.

Costco is dedicated to bringing their members the best possible quality and value with 100% customer satisfaction. Sage Tree has developed a rigorous process that has repeatedly produced fantastic results for our clients. The image below provides the framework for our approach:

Walmart customers expect to have access to great products at low prices, anytime and anywhere.

With more than 1,000,000 products available online, Walmart eCommerce combines the small structure and nimble nature of a startup with the resources of the world’s largest retailer. Sage Tree currently works with a vast amount of products on Walmart.com and continues to grow sales and business each year.

Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement specialty retailer, is committed to growing its online channel.

With fiscal 2013 retail sales of $83.2 billion and earnings of $6.3 billion, Home Depot continues to grow year after year. Home Depot has more than 2,200 retail stores in the United States (including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the territory of Guam), Canada and Mexico. Sage Tree’s valuable partnership and expertise continues to grow sales and brand awareness within Home Depot.

Target’s online revenue growth has been strong and steady as the retailer continues to enhance its online shopping experience.

Target rewrote 75% of the code in its eCommerce platform in 2014, and as a result, Target.com is now considered by eCommerce experts to be up to par with its rivals and even taking the lead in some areas, namely mobile shopping. Target has been a part of the "boom" in online retailing as its own online sales have turned out significantly better than the company's store sales.

Staples is a unique online retailer that no longer sells just office supplies.

Rapidly growing to become one of the largest office supply chains, Staples is beginning to change their model to include every consumer rather than just businesses and offices.
